We spent three evenings in Hoi An at the end of our three week SE Asian trip. Previously, we had eaten at Brothers. We loved the atmosphere but found the food meh. Still looking for a great waterfront dining experience, we tried Dao Tien and found it ticked all the boxes. We asked for a river front table (note that there is a small bikeway between the restaurant and the river but it's not obtrusive) and landed a great spot. Service was flawless, atmosphere balmy and food excellent. Two thumbs up.

Nice location by the river but the meal was ruined by the deafening noise on coming from the dreadful singing of the live band at the restaurant next door. The waiter explained that this happened every Sunday evening.

Several potential customers walked in to the resaurant but walked out before ordering because they could not stand the noise. I wish that we had done the same.

The food was OK but no better than that.

The service was fine until the bill came. When asked why my bill presented in Vietnamese Dong was to be taken from my card in US dollars the waitress was decidedly brisk.

“Lovely setting but...”

Reviewed February 8, 2013

Thought we'd eat better. Staff very friendly, table with river view. Our lunch was quite good, The Dao Tien speciality 'moneybags' was very tasty. The rest of the meal was Ok, perfectly fine to relax after a hot few hours walking around town.

“Charming location next to the river”

Reviewed February 6, 2013

The Dao Tien restaurant has a lovely location outside under the trees next to the river. The food was ok and the service good. It provided a pleasant relaxing lunch in between walking through town.

“Didn't live up to reviews we'd read”

Reviewed February 5, 2013

Just thought that the food was really average. Not nearly as nice as other places we ate in Hoi An and not as cheap. Nice location though.
